CLUSTER CHAT-PEER-WITHOUT · 14 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2025-10-06

Decentralized peer-to-peer chat apps

This cluster comprises chat applications that emphasize peer-to-peer or decentralized messaging, often avoiding central servers, with some offering offline or local-network operation. The dated members show an isolated entry in 2016-09, a long gap, and then a series of additions from 2025-09 through 2026-04, indicating a recent focus. Among dated members, malama, CHAT-P2P, and Kaidan lead on activity signals, although each currently has zero stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
